Foreign workers ogling at women

Foreign workers are now ogling at women at public swimming pools.
Last weekend, inSing reported that beach-goers are uncomfortable with foreign workers gather at the beach to ogle at them. See the article here.
It appears that such a phenomenon is not restricted to the beach but is at public swimming pools as well.
Mrs Xiao (39, housewife) related how uncomfortable she was with crowds of foreign workers ogling at the women.
She had gone to the Jurong Swimming Complex last Sunday on 6 November with her family of four.
When she saw the groups of foreign workers surrounding the pools, she was so uncomfortable she gave up the notion of going into the water.
According to Mrs Xiao, the men ogled for several hours at a time and appeared to be doing so to pass time on weekends and holidays.
They paid $2 to enter the swimming complex but were clad in jeans and shirts with no swimming gear whatsoever.
It was obvious they were not there to swim.
Mrs Xiao also exclaimed that the men "will even follow bikini-clad girls when they moved around the pool and the swimming complex".
Some of the foreign workers had noticed Mrs Xiao taking photos of them, but they simply shifted to another spot to continue watching.
"My husband told the lifeguards about it and heard from them that this has been happening for some time. But the lifeguards cannot do anything about it because the foreign workers are legitimate guests who bought tickets to enter the complex."
Lianhe Wanbao spoke to a lawyer to find out if this situation infringes on any Singapore laws.
According to the lawyer, what the foreign workers were doing is not illegal as long as they do not harass anyone with actions or words.
